AIQ CORE TORQUE
LOAD MONITORING MADE EASY
In addition to the standard AIQ Core, the AIQ Core Torque offers continuous torque measurement and analysis. The precise load measurement helps to detect harmful operating conditions, optimize the operating point and increase drive efficiency. The system gives you transparency about the load. It can identify downsizing potential for the next gearbox purchase and enables the remaining service life of components to be analyzed.
MORE AVAILABILITY, EFFICIENCY AND SAVINGS
THANKS TO INTEGRATED TORQUE MEASUREMENT
Take your system to a new level. The torque measurement of the AIQ Core Torque makes it possible to analyze the performance of your system precisely. This offers many economic advantages.
AVOIDANCE OF DOWNTIMES
The actual operating loads of a system are not always predictable. This can lead to damaging operating modes. There is an increased risk, especially during commissioning, when the processes are not yet perfectly coordinated and are optimized using a trial and error approach. By using the AIQ Core Torque, overload situations can be detected at an early stage and downtimes avoided. Repeated expensive and time-consuming re-setting of the system is no longer necessary. AIQ Core Torque therefore saves additional production time and reduces service costs.

OPTIMIZATION OF THE OPERATING POINT
Plant manufacturers sell highly automated machines to their end customers. The optimization of the systems and the respective process parameters is of great importance. However, the potential of the gearboxes is often not fully exploited, especially as maximum optimization is not only very time-consuming, but can also pose a risk to the system. In contrast to normal optimization via trial & error, the AIQ Core Torque allows optimization based on mechanical torque. This method enables optimization under safe conditions in order to exploit the full potential of the system.

REDUCING COSTS THROUGH DOWNSIZING
'Gearbox specifications for certain applications have been defined over many years. The original definition was usually based on theoretical calculations with a large safety buffer. As a rule, no actual load measurement was carried out on the system. This often led to modern systems being oversized. With the AIQ Core Torque, real operating loads can be measured and a load distribution matrix can be created. This data allows the gearbox specifications to be redefined. In many cases, considerable downsizing potential can be identified. With the next purchase, you can then acquire a gearbox that is perfectly adapted to the application and, at the same time, reduces the investment costs.

VERSATILE IN USE
The AIQ Core Torque can be optimally integrated into your working environment via various connection options. You can connect the system directly to your plant control system via PLC or provide the data for the AIQ online portal via Wi-Fi.
The standardized PLC connection of the AIQ Core provides a continuous analogue and digital output of the measured values for your system control. The digital outputs provide pre-processed signals that can be used to control a fan or heating system, for example. The output signals - analog and digital - can be configured via the free AIQ app.
The AIQ Core also supports optional data exchange and communication via the OPC UA protocol. The OPC UA interface can be ordered at the factory or added later via a hardware upgrade. To do this, the upper part of the standard AIQ Core is replaced in the field.
The free AIQ app is available for direct control of the gearbox. You can use it to connect directly to the AIQ Core via Bluetooth. It provides status information and recommended actions and is designed for on-site service technicians. The app guides you step by step through the initial setup.
The AIQ online portal is available for in-depth analyses and online monitoring. Here, you can access process parameters, the remaining service life analysis of individual components, frequency-selective vibration analyses and other evaluations at any time. You can try out the portal functionality by of the portal using a demo account. Click on the button to gain access. The sensor must be directly connected to a local Wi-Fi network to use the portal. The network connection, which is set up via the AIQ app.

ORDER DURING CONFIGURATION
The AIQ Core Torque is equipped with an OPC UA interface as standard. Due to the optimal positioning of the torque measurement in the transmission, the sensor is usually integrated ex works. It is best to configure your next transmission directly with AIQ Core Torque when purchasing. A small surcharge that is well worth it. If you would like to retrofit an existing gearbox with an AIQ Core Torque, please contact us.
